My landscape painting: "Sandhill Crescendo," and my drawing: "Sabbath" were a finalists at the 2013 ARC Salon in the Landscape and Drawing categories respectively.
Clark Gussin was born in 1948 in Washington, D.C., and grew up there and in North Carolina. As a boy he took an early interest in art and was sent to study oil painting at the Corcoran Gallery Art School for two years. It was there and in the National Gallery that he was exposed to art history first-hand and developed a love for the style and techniques of the Old Masters. He was especially impressed by the 17th century Dutch artists and the Northern Renaissance Flemish painters, who left their imprint on his naturalistic, classic approach to painting.
Clark attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California, where he received a BFA degree with distinction in 1975.
Clark aspires to create beautiful, naturalistic paintings and drawings about life and humanity that expresses the beauty in the world seen through the eyes of an artist. As a result, Clark wishes to inspire, encourage, and communicate hope to those who observe, admire and collect his art.
I saw that on the ARC site. How wonderful, congratulations. They should have you as one of the "Living Masters."
ReplyDeleteThey asked me submit a request to be considered for "Living Master" status. I will when things slow down a little....Thank you for the compliment...
